Our 100% Egyptian cotton towels are woven in a decadent 720gsm, with special spinning technology that creates micro air holes inside the yarn and then the pile is carefully combed. This produces an absorbent, breathable towel material that's also thick, fluffy and densely cosy. The result? Unforgettably plush Egyptian cotton towels. 

A pair of Egyptian cotton hand towels, measuring 50cm x 100cm, with handy hanging hooks. Soft, fluffy hand towels for drying your hands.

Luxury Egyptian cotton towels thoughtfully designed in the UK and made with love and care in Turkey.

Materials:

  • Fabric: Certified 100% authentic Egyptian cotton pile & ground.
  • GSM: Towels - 720gsm; Bath mat - 1000gsm (grams per square metre).
  • Towel pile: 15/1 single yarn, combed Egyptian cotton.
  • Bath mat pile: 12/2 double yarn, combed Egyptian cotton.
  • Details: Double stitched edging for durability & handy towel hanging hooks.

Care:

  • Wash your towels at 40° before use and then once a week, or go greener at 30°.
  • Ideally wash your towels only with other towels and separate colours.
  • Don't add more detergent than required as this can clog up your machine and your towels.
  • Use fabric conditioner sparingly or ideally not at all. Fabric conditioners can decrease the absorbency and softness of your towels.
  • Tumble dry low/medium or line dry, then shake out.
  • Use our Wool Tumble Dryer Balls to reduce drying time and fluff your towels up naturally.
  • Love your scooms towel and it will love you.

Our Egyptian cotton towels

We chose Egyptian cotton for our range of bath towels because it really is the world's finest, strongest and most durable cotton. 720 GSM is particularly high for towel fabric but that's because we want our towels to deliver indulgent comfort for years and years, wash after wash.

Why we love Egyptian cotton towels

It's the long, fine fibres of Egyptian cotton that produces such a notable long-looped towel fabric. As Egyptian cotton is handpicked, only the highest quality fibres are selected. The longer the towel loop, the greater the surface area available to absorb water and the softer the feel of the towel pile. Hello post-bath bliss.

Certified 100% authentic Egyptian cotton for both the towel pile and ground.

Unforgettably plush towels, decadent in fluffiness.

Crafted with long cotton loops, combed for added softness and gentle enough for delicate and sensitive skin.

No plastic wrapping, just a cotton ribbon and fully recyclable cardboard box.
